Windows 10: HOW UIS THIS LEGAL

Your company ethics is about the absolute worst that I can ever recall. You build a complete garbage of a system that is loaded to capacity with spyware, bloatware, adware, etc on a obismal framework noticed that NOBODY WANTS IT AND EVERYONE HATES IT. And you cannot get anyone to subject themselves to the torture that is Windows 11. So you turn it into RANSOMWARE holding my 3 thousand dollar computer hostige until I comply with your Bin Laden type demands of downloading the biggest piece of trash ever designed for a computer. Even with registry entries banning an upgrade, even with Group Polic

malware and legality tests

If one bought some cds and wanted to rip them to flash drive, would that be legal ?

Secondly, VirusTotal is a great suggestion in which to enter URL for security.

 

Ceritification for non-UI based application

Hello,

I have to work with a ODM/OEM to develop a console application which needs to be run as a background task during the system boot to support a hardware added.

I've gone through

Hardware Support App (HSA) Steps for App Developers - Windows drivers

1. But in my case, there is no UI required for the application, just need to run as background process.
   
2. The app need to access firmware environment variables to read the data from the UFEI.
3. As I understand, I think we do not have plan to distribute through Windows store as this would be specific to a particular hardware.

Could someone help suggest,

1. If this is right method to do it ? If not what would be right way to do it.
2. what kind of certification should I go through from Microsoft, so that ODM/OEMs can integrate the background tasks to the end system.

Thank You
